"It is hard to put into words the gratitude my family and I feel towards our nurse & the Nelliellen Agency. Our nurse came to live with us after the birth of our first child. Within days, she became part of the family. She has a way about her that makes her instantly familiar and at the same time, entirely unobtrusive. It was wonderful to watch how effortlessly she bonded with our son and how he came to love her. She has an innate ability to soothe a child. My own insecurities were assuaged under her guidance. I quickly learned to care for my son with confidence and ease. Even after she had finished her stay with us, I remained in frequent contact with her and continued to rely on her expertise. In my opinion, our nurse’s greatest strengths lie in her ability to translate the language of a newborn and under her tutelage, I learned how to detect and meet my son's needs. She did not only care for my son, but she also cared for me. She made sure I took care of myself, ate well, stayed hydrated, and was well rested. I credit her for both my physical and emotional well-being in the time after my son's birth. She would frequently say that all the babies she had cared for were content and happy, but I believe that is largely due to her effect on the child and their family. If I am blessed with a second child, I will certainly hire her again."
